Anyway Kendra Andrews was right. Next summer all the other 29 NBA teams will throw big$$$$$$ on the plate for 8P, Belly, YG, JTA, JP3..... damn, it will be hard.
Wiggins is still developing. All of the sudden he is shooting catch and shoot 3s. Next up: get that FT% over 80%. If he felt more comfortable at the line, he wouldn't shoot those flat "bail-out" push shots. He would just drive hard into contact. Frankly, I think he can bail on the push shot/floater all together. His spot up 3s look great, his iso 2s are solid, and dude can get to the rim. So that FT% seems to be the one element of his game that is keeping him from reaching the next level. He should be 6for8, 7for8 from the line every night. And there wouldn't be any question about All-Star status.

It seemed like the team was losing a little focus arguing with the refs from the second quarter on. Which... I don't see how you blame them on this one.
But they played really great ball on both sides, I thought.
Brilliant win. Some very frustrating moments followed by some great ones. Dre- what can you say? How many big moments in which he’s come up big in his career? The guy just walks between the rain drops. He’s special. Had a tough time on the glass with these guys, which was new, but that absolutely couldn’t be blamed on Porter, who was, as usual, boxing out like a madman the whole time. I even recall him getting a contested one against Gobert. I just love this guy’s game. This team is just special. There’s no other way to say it.
My call: first to 115 wins. Put it in the books. I just had to watch that game and appreciate it. Utah is a damn good team. We shouldn't sleep on them. But the Warriors are fearless. The Championship DNA rubs off on everyone who puts on that uniform. At it's core, it's the sense that if you are losing, it's because you're playing bad. It's never about the other team actually being better than you. And that is rare air in the sports Universe.
Watching the game, I am not afraid of Jazz in Playoffs even a bit. They don't have anyone to lock down Steph. Suns and Memphis are the only two teams that I am concerned about

I'm watching again the 4th quarter. I'm uncertain I saw basketball or sci-fi.

Icing on the cake tonight … Nets lost
Jeebus, just noticed the 39 assists ... without Dray$.
Refs sucked, Warriors didn't, the postgame party thread is ready: https://dubnationhq.com/p/post-game-party-thread-short-handed
Anyone notice Andre slap the backboard on his first dunk? That was Spicy!
Oh man I look forward to see YG on DeRozan. It willl be EPIC

Did we win this game with better offense or defense?
For all the talk of bigs are gonna kill us - we can take Gobert of that list

It’s great to win on the first day of New year.
Happy and healthy New Year Dub nation !
Iggy two "fate of the universe" threes. Wake me up, it must be a dream
